My darling D. Jone, I am so happy to welcome you back to the world of crochet. I see you have been busy having a life full of love and heartaches and sending your children off to have full lives of...

Hi Everyone,

Linquine bunnybuns is what the designer, Wayuki, calls them. I found this free pattern over at Craftster.org. I have been looking for easy and quick toys to replace candy for Easter...

Your afghan is just beautiful! Such yummy colors - looks like sherbert! I had no idea this wasn't one of those "hundreds of tails" afghans. I may try this yarn. Thanks!

These sandals are so cute! I thought some of you might have need of a new pattern:

Hi KolinaGr, How exciting to discover something new and surprising about yourself. Do you know which tribe? I highly recommend you read anything by Lucia St. Clair Robson, especially "Ride the Wind."...

Absolutely exquisite!

Kitty, what a beautiful piece! Your execution is top-notch! I like Dinah's idea of putting it between 2 pieces of glass and hanging it in a window. My first thought was to make a pillow with the same...

Hello Everyone!

I get a newsletter from thecrochetcrowd. You may find it enjoyable to sign up too. There is an article about this woman in Canada who rides the train and teaches people to knit and...

Hi Sassy,

Congratulations on your successful wine bottle project!

The very best way to find anything on the Internet is to do a simple search. If you enclose your search phrase in quotation...

Advanced Crochet Stitches: Free Guide to Crocheting Stitches

Sorry, I must have accidentally hit the post button before I was done writing the post. This is a very nice guide to some stitches like...

Thanks so much Amanda!

Amanda, if you are offering your recipes to everyone, I would really appreciate your recipes for tempura and for the zucchini egg foo young!

Hush puppies or banana fritters - wait! hush puppies AND banana fritters. Then could you make some of Amanda's fresh vegetable tempura and FedEx it to me?

Barbless is the first 4 letters of my first name and the first 4 letters of my last name. I have usually been described as a "soft" person so my username kind of just fell into place.

Hi ButterflyRose, welcome to the "I screwed up and can't face ripping it all out" club. Everyone who does needlework must face this situation. From my own experiences I have a cardinal rule of...

Isn't it a nice feeling that needlework connects us to those we love and those who came before us? I see a doily made in the 1800's and feel like I am a part of something strong and lasting. Do you...

Hi Adairdm, do you prefer to look online or read books? I have always liked those little pamphlets that I find at garage sales. I have often wondered if I should make one of those Southern Belle...

Anaisa! Wow!!!!! This is just beautiful. It is a creative and well-made piece of artwork. I love the moon. Are you going to have it framed?

I live in a small town, Centerville, just north of Cincinnati, Ohio. I see your location is St. Petersburg. I am somewhat envious of your reasonable inventory of yarn. It's not even a stash since...

BarbySue, we should live next door to each other. I buy the yarn with only a general idea of what I want to make and then look for a pattern or a stitch I want to use and go from there. So I have a...

Thanks so much Lynn and BarbySue for your kind words. I must admit I have never taken a picture of anything I have ever crocheted. I will dig up a camera and start. I'm not sure photography had been...

I do about 90% of my yarn buying online. I did check out this site and they have a very small selection of yarns. There is free shipping for orders over $100.00 which is not a very good deal. The...

I think the other crocheters have answered your questions but read that you grit your teeth when you are crocheting. That is not a good habit and will make your face and jaw ache after a while. I...
